Denali Borough, Alaska

[2][3] The borough seat and most populated community is Healy,[4] and its only incorporated place is Anderson.

The area was previously a part of the Unorganized Borough, with the Upper Railbelt School District serving as the region's rural education attendance area (which was replaced by a school district under the borough's umbrella upon incorporation).

A mining camp was established near Healy prior to 1902, and construction of the Alaska Railroad brought additional settlers to the area in the early 1920s.

Clear Space Force Station, the Usibelli Coal Mine and tourism at the Denali National Park and Preserve have brought growth and development.

[6] The borough contains North America's highest point: Denali (formerly Mount McKinley), from which it derives its name, at 6,190.5 m (20,310 ft).

The 1940s bus was taken to a remote trail about 60 years ago (from 2020) by a road crew, according to Denali Borough Mayor, Clay Walker.

Alaskan authorities are quoted as saying the bus would be kept in a "secure location" until a decision is made about its future.

Dave Talerico represented the Denali Borough and surrounding regions in the 29th, 30th, and 31st Legislature's of the Alaska House of Representatives . Talerico took office in 2015, becoming the first Denali Borough resident to serve in the Alaska Legislature since 1993. Prior to that, he was the borough's longest-serving mayor , from 2002 until resigning in 2012 to take a staff position in the legislature. [ 15 ]
